Choreographer Wade Robson says Michael Jackson molested him as a child, and wants money from the late singer's estate, according to TMZ.

Robson met Jackson at age 5 and the pair developed a friendship that lasted for years. By the time Robson was 7, he was going for sleepovers at Neverland Ranch and other Jackson homes in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. TMZ said the sleepovers continued until Robson was 14.

Robson's lawyer filed legal documents on May 1, asking the judge in Jackson's estate case to allow him to file a late creditor's claim. The documents are "for childhood sexual abuse." The documents were filed under seal, meaning they aren't available to the public. But TMZ has sources who reportedly said they specifically outline the alleged abuse.

Robson's lawyer also supposedly mentioned a psychiatrist who treated Robson.

The website said, during Jackson molestation trial, his former housekeeper Blanca Francia testified she witnessed Jackson in the shower with Robson when the boy was 8 or 9 years old.

Robson, 30, has become a big name choreographer who has worked with Britney Spears, 'N Sync, Usher and Pink, and others. He has also appeared on "So You Think You Can Dance."

Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for Jackson's estate, told TMZ "Mr. Robson's claim is outrageous and pathetic. This is a young man who has testified at least twice under oath over the past 20 years and said in numerous interviews that Michael Jackson never did anything inappropriate to him or with him. Now, nearly four years after Michael has passed, this sad and less than credible claim has been made."

Sources connected with the case supposedly told the website Robson says he suffered from "repressed memory," which would explain why he didn't file his creditor's claim earlier.
